Greenhacks was the saviour o. our country
but was crucired between two Gliieves gold

The General showed his aiupidity as a
scholar or statesman in calling gold and
silver the money OF the world. There IL

wilFcome here TO buy and we will sell

1--WE have Christian Republic" Does lie
not know republic cannot be tohnded and
sustained by Christian, Mohamedan Bud
dy or any other religious denominations ?
All Republics are secular, recognizing no
religious 'creeds, dogmas or teneis.
"The salvation Of the country depended
upon the stupidity OF the Democratic
party" said the General. Yes, and the
life of the Republican party depends upon
the stupidity of the people and the lease
OF life that The Democratic party has.
These two parties are the Siamese twins.
Destroy either one and you destroy both.
They are so close together upon the polit--
